Liz scored some chanterelle & maitake mushrooms at the grocery store, so we pan-fried those beauties up in some olive oil with a little pepper & tamari to finish.

We smoked the tofu for 25 minutes with hickory wood chips and then marinated it for 20 minutes with equal parts of olive oil, tamari, ketchup with the addition of black pepper and smoked paprika. We grilled the tofu for 4-5 minutes per turn for nice grill marks, then flipped and repeated. To plate, they were cut into long triangles.

The (brown rice) pasta was cooked and coated with Earth Balance, nooch and pepper and served along with a salad.

3. Links to recipes are shown when available, if there's no link, we'll try to cite the book/magazine issue from where it came. If there's no recipe cited, it usually means we made it up... and if there's nothing at all, enjoy the pretty pictures. ;)

4. We don't like ersatz food (i.e. tofu molded into the shape of a turkey for Thanksgiving), but we're funny that way.

5. A brief personal history. We were vegetarian for 7 years, and have been vegan for the last 20 years.
